Hello folks. Here we are in February and as a person on the radio announced yesterday regarding the ever increasing fuel payments “ well the worst of the cold weather is now behind us “ what planet is she on ? No way! Although the past month has seen record rainfall in many parts of the country and therefore poor opportunities for camera work, we can still hope for some better days….dare I mention the word SNOW ? As I look out onto the garden, I can see the harbingers of spring announcing daffodils, snowdrops and crocii , all raising their welcoming heads once more. The climatic change is still surprising some people, an ex- colleague of mine travelled to his son’s family in Sunny California for the festive season and the State had it’s worst floods ever recorded, and so not much film used there !
Our last two meetings produced two excellent presentations on Lake District Moods ( never seen it like this before ) and a quite informative evening on Long Exposures promoting members to go out and have a go.
Future meetings are as follows :-
Feb. 8th The Battle by Zoom between Garstang Camera Club and Rangiora Photographic Society of New Zealand, the first time we have gone International.
Feb.15th. Martin Jump presents ( live ) Lancashire Landscapes Flora and Fauna.
Feb 22cnd. Member’s Evening, various activities.
March 1st. Adrian and Sue Whittaker will give us an Audio Visual presentation……..always interesting.
March 8th. Judging of our Humanity Competition.
Best Wishes and good shooting.
